Front Seat
Your vehicle has a right-front passenger':
air bag. NEVER put a rear-facing child
restraint
in this seat. Here's why:
I
lou'il be using the lap-shoulder belt. See
the earlier section about the top strap
if
the child restraint has one.
You'll need a safety locking clip to
properly secure a child restraint
in this
position. You can get a locking clip where
child restraints are sold, or from your
Chevrolet dealer
(GM Part No.
94844571). The locking clip must be the
same
as the one shown here.

Until you have this clip, secure a child
restraint only
in the rear seat. See the
earlier section about securing a child
restraint in the rear seat. Once you have
the clip, follow these instructions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Because the vehicle has a right-front
passenger's air bag, always move the
seat as far back as
it will go before
securing a front-facing child restraint.
Put the restraint on the seat. Follow
the instructions for the child restraint.
Secure the child
in the child restraint
as the instructions say.
Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap
and shoulder portions
of the vehicle's
safety belt through or around
the
restraint. The child restraint
instructions will show you how.
If the shoulder belt goes
in front of the
child's face or neck, put it behind the
child restraint.
5.
6.
Buckle the belt.
Make sure the release button
is
positioned so you would be able to
unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you
ever had to.
Then thread both lap and shoulder belt portions through the locking clip.

Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child
restraints should wear the vehicle's safety
belts.
Accident statistics show that children are
safer if they are restrained in the rear seat.
But they need
to use the safety belts
properly.
0 Children who aren't buckled up can
be thrown out
in a crash.
Children who aren't buckled up can
strike other people who are.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Q. What if a child is wearing a
lap-shoulder belt, but the child is
so
small that the shoulder belt is very
close to the child’s face or neck?
A: Move the child toward the center of
the vehicle, but be sure that the
shoulder belt still
is on the child’s
shoulder,
so that in a crash the child’s
upper body would have the restraint
that belts provide.
A
A CAUTION:
Never do this. Here a child is sitting
in a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt,
but the shoulder
part is behind the
child.
If the child wears the belt in
this way, in a crash the child might
slide under the belt. The belt’s force
would then be applied right on the
child’s abdomen. That could cause
serious or fatal injuries.
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of
the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the child’s thighs. This applies
belt force to the child’s
pelvic bones
in a crash.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten
around you, you should use it.
But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to
fasten, your dealer will order you an
extender. It’s free. When you go
in to
order
it, take the heaviest coat you will
wear, so the extender will be long enough
for you. The extender will be just for you,
and just for the seat
in your vehicle that
you choose. Don’t let someone else use it,
and use
it only for the seat it is made to
fit. To wear it, just attach it to the regular
safety belt.
Checking Your
Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts,
buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly.
Look for any loose
parts or damage. If you see anything that
might keep a restraint system from doing
its job, have
it repaired.

Replacing Safety Belts
after
a Crash
If you’ve had a crash, do you need new
belts?
After a very minor collision, nothing
may be necessary. But if the belts were
stretched,
as they would be if worn during
a more severe crash,
then you need new
belts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace them.
Collision damage also may mean you
will need to have safety belt or seat parts
repaired or replaced. New parts and
repairs may be necessary even if the belt
wasn’t being used
at the time of the
collision.
2: What’s wrong with this?
\: The belt is torn.
rorn or frayed belts may not protect you
n a crash. They can rip apart under
mpact forces. If a belt
is torn or frayed,
,ret a new one right away.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When a new Camaro is delivered, the
dealer removes the plugs from the door
keys and gives them to the first owner.
The ignition keys don’t have plugs.
Instead, they have bar-coded key tags.
These tags may be removed by your
dealer or even before
the car is delivered to
your dealer.
Each plug has
a code on it that tells your
dealer or
a qualified locksmith how to
make extra door keys. Keep the plugs in
a
safe place. If you lose your door keys,
you’ll be able to have new ones made
using these plugs. If
you need
a new ignition key, go to you1
Chevrolet dealer, who can obtain the
correct key code. In an emergency, call
Chevrolet Roadside Assistance at
1 -800-CHEV-USA.
NOTICE:
Your Chevrolet has a number of new
features that can help prevent theft.
But you can have a lot of trouble get-
ting into your vehicle
if you ever lock
your keys inside.
You may even have
to damage your vehicle to get in. So
